Chapter 943: Top-Rated Species, Dual Aspects

Enemies who entered this flower field definitely wouldn’t be able to exit it for a time. If Sun Mo wanted to grab some advantage, he had to wait for the poison to activate and they died completely. Hence, he was not in a hurry.

The scarab was also an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years. It was vastly experienced. It knew that if there was a secret treasure here, it would definitely be at the center-most region. Hence, it concentrated all its energy in this place.

Very soon, the Holy Pharaoh discovered that in a certain radius, the number of corpses grew fewer and fewer. This indicated that no animals could enter here.

Naturally, this must be the location where heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures would exist.

Because the scarab had drunk the honey and could resist the onslaught of this purple poison miasma, it continued to advance forward. 15 minutes later, it saw a purple-colored flower.

It was like an absolutely gorgeous beauty. Even in the depths of countless flowers, the Holy Pharaoh saw it with a single glance.

“How beautiful, no, the term should be gorgeously magnificent.”

The Holy Pharaoh sighed ruefully.

Different flowers had different dispositions. For example, peony flowers exuded a luxurious gracefulness, lotuses exuded a tranquil purity. And for this purple flower, it exuded gorgeous magnificence.

It was akin to a demonic beauty whose appearance was so outstanding that it could destroy empires.

The Holy Pharaoh fell into a daze after a single glance and was unable to extricate itself. Luckily, its will was strong and it soon managed to shift its gaze away.

After that, it discovered in shock that it had actually proceeded over ten meters forward when it was in a daze.

“I have to warn Master. This flower is very dangerous.”

The Holy Pharaoh regained its senses.

…

“Is it found?”

Ying Baiwu had joy on her face. “Let me open a path!”

“Master, I advise you not to go. It is too dangerous,” the Holy Pharaoh earnestly spoke.

“Do you know that it’s a huge sin to enter a treasure mountain and leave with nothing?”

Li Ruolan grumbled. After that, she pulled on Sun Mo’s hand. “Let’s go quickly.”

Bai Xiqing’s gaze immediately turned over. (Daring to pull on the wrist of my idol? F***, I really wish to cut her hand off.)

“Let’s go and take a look first!”

Sun Mo was also reluctant to give up.

The closer the distance to that flower, the denser the purple miasma was. In this case, the advantages of their individual constitution revealed themselves.

“Zhiruo, the bruises on your body seem to become more serious.”

Tantai Yutang had been observing his martial siblings. When he saw the skin color of the papaya girl, he immediately warned her.

“Ah?”

Lu Zhiruo jumped in fright. She lowered her head for a look. This was indeed the case.

“Don’t you feel dizzy?”

Li Ziqi actually wanted to do the same. But her constitution didn’t permit her to do so. Right now, she was already puking with disgust.

“Nope!”

Lu Zhiruo shook her head, but the bruises on her body seemed to be alive and they were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eyes.

“All of you should leave!”

Sun Mo instructed.

“I’m fine!”

Xuanyuan Po wanted to go and take a look. Maybe, there might be a chance for a fight.

“From now onward, everyone must leave immediately once there’s a problem with their bodies.”

Sun Mo hesitated for a while but gave up on the notion of making all his personal students leave. After all, this was a tempering exercise. It wasn’t bad for them to gain some experience.

The actual situation was much better than Sun Mo’s expectations. Other than Tantai Yutang and Ying Baiwu feeling uncomfortable, the rest were completely fine.

“This flower is so attractive!”

Li Ruolan sighed. She immediately took out an image-recording stone and started snapping shots from various angles.

“This area is too bizarre. There are no hints of vitality at all!”

Mei Ziyu rubbed her arm and shivered. The surroundings were very cold, and the atmosphere here was even more terrifying compared to a mass burial on a gloomy rainy day.

“The question now is how should we pluck that flower?”

As Jiang Leng spoke, he glanced at the scarab.

“Rascal, what sort of gaze is that?”

The Holy Pharaoh was angry now. (You want me to go and die?)

After that, it cried, “Master, I tried before but I was not successful. The nearer I get to that flower, the more toxins there will be in my body and the activation rate grows even quicker.”

“I’ll go and probe it!”

Xuanyuan Po licked the corner of his lips and just when he wanted to charge over, he was stopped with a pull by Sun Mo.

“I’ll do it!”

As the sound of Sun Mo’s voice rang out, he was immediately interrupted.

“No way!”

There were several pairs of hands holding back Sun Mo.

“I’ll get a puppet to probe things!”

Murong Mingyue released a puppet. It was a wooden puppet.

Kada! Kada!

The wooden puppet ran and closed in on that flower rapidly.

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out.

They felt that their heads were knocked over and they fell into a daze. When they regained their senses, they saw that the miasma had congealed together into tentacles and twined themselves around the wooden puppet.

The speed of the puppet’s advance grew increasingly slower. It was originally black, but its color was now tinged with purple. When it arrived at a distance of about 20+ meters away from the flower, it no longer moved. It was as though it had ‘died’.

“Let’s give up. If a human went, they would be killed before they reached the 50-meter range.”

Murong Mingyue persuaded.

Her puppet wasn’t made from just wood. Other high-ended puppetry techniques had been incorporated into making it. Its lifeforce was much greater than a human. But now, even something like it was damaged. Given the weak bodies of humans, there was completely no hope to get close to it.

“If humans cannot do this, let’s get a battle pet to try!”

The bees most probably wouldn’t cut it. Hence, Sun Mo got his personal students to catch butterflies.

15 minutes later, a hundred butterflies were caught by everyone.

Sun Mo directly used Land Proof.

Swish!

A golden light enveloped those butterflies. After that, they stopped struggling and quietened down before they began to fly around Sun Mo.

“Go. Pick that flower.”

Sun Mo used his will to instruct them.

Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!

The butterflies flapped their wings rapidly, but they didn’t follow the instructions.

Their intellect was simply too low, and they had no way to communicate their intentions to humans like monkeys. However, their anxious emotions were clearly transmitted to Sun Mo.

“Go!”

This time around, Sun Mo hardened his heart. If they refused to go, he would kill these butterflies.

The butterflies had no choice. They flew toward the designated area.

Because they had lived here for generations, their resistance toward the miasma was very strong. Although many of them died in the process of advancing toward the flowers, in the end, over twenty survived and managed to touch that flower.

After that…woosh~

At the instant they touched the flower, the surrounding miasma gushed over as though it was enraged and directly smashed into the butterflies, making them disintegrate into nothingness.

“So fierce?”

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

This clearly showed that whoever touched the flower would die.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight. After that, a row of large bright-red words jumped out.

Unknown target, unable to analyze.

“Look at how useless you are. Why do I need you for?”

Sun Mo was depressed.

At such a time, even external reinforcements were useless. How to win then?

(Wait a minute, external reinforcements?)

“Sir dragon soul, are you here?”

Sun Mo suddenly recalled that he had another spirit beast. However, the fame of this spirit beast was too great and its status was too high. Besides, it had always been slumbering. Hence, Sun Mo had almost forgotten it.

“What do you want?”

The dragon soul’s voice was riddled with sleepiness. But after that, it immediately roared, “What sort of hellish place is this? Why is the death qi here so heavy? Leave, quickly leave!”

“Don’t be in a rush. Help me check what sort of plant that is?”

Sun Mo decided to give the dragon soul a tall hat first. “You have lived for so long and definitely recognize this, right?”

“That’s only natural. I’m an ancient giant dragon after all. When I was alive, many species were just born!”

The dragon soul snorted complacently. After that, as it stared at the flower, it was dumbstruck.

Sun Mo waited for a few minutes, but after seeing that the dragon soul had no intention of speaking, he could only call out to it to wake it. After all, they couldn’t afford to wait too long here.

“Dragon soul, what’s this?”

“It seems to be a Life-Death Flower!”

As expected, the dragon soul lived up to expectations.

“What’s that?”

Sun Mo was curious. From its name, this flower sounded very impressive.

“It is a godly flower that can extend life. If someone at the verge of death consumes it, they will be able to recover fully and their lifespan will be extended by several hundred years.”

The dragon soul explained, “However, I’ve not seen an actual Life-Death Flower myself, so I don’t dare to be sure.”

“Is this real?’

Sun Mo’s eyes brightened. If this was the Life-Death Flower, he might be able to use this to cure the old headmaster.

“Stop dreaming. If it is really the Life-Death Flower, you won’t be able to get it even if you try your entire life!”

The dragon soul persuaded.

“What do you mean?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Life-Death Flower, the living will die and the dead will live!”

The dragon soul explained, “It means that when it is in its growing phase, it will be a ‘death’ flower and bring death. The lifeforms that got close to it would have their vitality completely drained and become its nutrients.

“And as for the ‘dead will live’, it means after this flower withers and dies, it will then possess the effect of extending life and reviving the dead.”

Sun Mo frowned. “When will it wither then?”

“How should I know?”

The dragon soul was speechless. (I’m a carnivore, why would I give a damn about a flower?)

“Then is it possible to make it die through unnatural causes?”

Sun Mo instantly thought of several attacking methods, but he was afraid he might destroy the flower.

“No idea!”

The dragon soul shrugged. “You should ponder over it yourself. I’m going back to sleep.”

“Wait a minute, you are a spirit body, right?”

Sun Mo suddenly recalled. “It’s probably impossible for you to die, right?”

“Sorry, spirit bodies are also a type of lifeform. I would die too.”

The dragon soul had no solution to this.

Sun Mo kneaded his glabella. He could only choose to give up in the end. “Let’s leave.”

“What’s wrong?’

Mei Ziyu didn’t understand.

Sun Mo told the dragon soul’s explanation to everyone.

“Don’t look down on it because it is a flower. Its attacking prowess isn’t low.”

Sun Mo shrugged.

“I feel so reluctant!”

Ying Baiwu was very depressed.

“Let’s leave.”

Sun Mo urged. But at this moment, the voice of that damn bird rang out in Sun Mo’s mind.

“Human, I can get that flower for you. However, you must give me my freedom in exchange.”

“Mn?”

Sun Mo was astonished. After that, he persuaded, “I don’t want you to use your life in a gamble for the sake of freedom. If you wish to leave, I can simply dispel the contract.”

“Don’t need to.”

The immortal crane was very proud. It disdained charity but in its heart, it was quite touched. This man truly had a good character.

Sadly, it refused to be a slave.

“If I pick the Life-Death Flower now, this flower field will wither and the illusion will vanish. The enemies pursuing you will also be freed. At that time, you guys might still die. So, it’s better to kill all your enemies before I pick the flower.”

The immortal crane suggested.

“Sure!”

Sun Mo didn’t mind it. It was good enough that he could earn a top-graded secret treasure.

However, what origins did this damn bird have?

It could actually pick the Life-Death Flower? Something even the dragon soul could not do?

Could it be some sort of ancient immortal bird?

“Go and kill your enemies first then!”

The immortal crane spoke, “Oh yes, do you still have wine?”

Black lines appeared on Sun Mo’s face.

“Che, you don’t even have wine? What sort of man are you?”

The immortal crane spoke in disdain.

(As expected, I can’t have someone like you as my master.)
